Another cub has come out of the undergrowth. The safari vehicles have come to a standstill, and maintain a safe distance behind (and in front), giving enough space to the tiger family. The tigress had come out first, and had given us humans a glowering look, warning all of us that we should maintain a safe distance from her precious cubs. Then the cubs came out once their mother signaled that it was safe.

It was a 45 degree C afternoon. One of those days when you get fried but come back happy.

A couple of shots of Tonnur Lake. Was surprised by the amount of the water.
And as Nilanjan said, the images do look sharper than they are. Open them as a separate file on the browser and they seem to improve.

Tried to get a macro level detail with a zoom lens. This is the best I could.

Wow, that sounds different. I am still hoping one day I can do a trip with the family atleast when the younger one is 5 years. I find the convincing wifee part a bit tough

Well, this year we had thought that we'd do separate trips to the mountains. After completing my 5th trip last year, I had decided to take a break at least for the next few years. But such resolutions never really work and I was planning yet another trip for this year with a special mission in mind. She got her trip as planned, but sadly I've had to call off my plans due to various reasons.

Anyway, best of luck with your plans, hope you get to see it before the pesky tourists spoil all its natural beauty.
